The short answer is that we have a long way to go. The Indo-Pacific paper is aspirational.
One of the concerns I have.... Yes, the business community is suddenly beginning to pay a lot more attention, because I think they see the writing on the wall in terms of protectionism south of the border. Yes, there may be some new opportunities, but at the end of the day, if we're really going to boost our economic fortunes, we have to engage with the major emerging economies of the Indo-Pacific. That's a horn that I and others have been blowing for many years that preceded the Indo-Pacific strategy statement, which, as Gordon said, was long overdue, but you're not going to achieve that overnight.
It's going to require a substantial commitment on the part of not just the business community but Canada's leaders—more than team Canada missions but real follow-up. One of the concerns I have is that, as we see developments south of the border and the prospect of an election that may bring a former president to power, that's just going to suck the oxygen out of the Indo-Pacific strategy. It's going to be difficult for our leaders, who need to be courting the Americans, to be, at the same time, jumping on airplanes to go south and to go west. That's also true, by the way, of the business community.
